Here is someone who has seen a lot of work in different parts of the business and can truly give you a first hand feel of what-it-is and what-it-takes to "make it" in L.A.
Amanda Leise - is an alumni of Starbound. This summer she will once again be teaching at the Boulder Jazz Dance Workshop. She was one of only 15 choreographers, many nationally known, who were part of the ground breaking internet choreography site DanceKast. She taught this year for the national Urban Jamm convention and the EDGE Performing Arts Center in Hollywood.

Amanda's Hip Hop is cool, understated and the epitome of tasty.  Her Tap is influenced by her Hip Hop and is what is happening in Tap today. Her playfulness is contagious. And her teaching is high energy, entertaining and effective. Come let her show you the very latest in Hip Hop and Tap.
Caroline Sky McCauley - is originally from Oklahoma. She is a graduate of the professional preparation scholarship at the Edge Performing Arts Center in Hollywood. She stayed in L.A. and worked in the LA dance scene for a little over 3 years. About three years ago she moved to Boulder to study at the Naropa Institute. Dance for Caroline is not just about the basics of steps. Rather, she views dance as a way in which to communicate and understand the world. Caroline's style of teaching gives great value to the foundation of technique and proper placement however she hopes to evoke in her students a connection to the deeper meanings found within movement..
Dane Burch - from Oregon, Dane has danced since age 10, moved to L.A. where he studied dance in Hollywood at the EDGE Performing Arts Center on scholarship.
